Last month, McKinsey & Company published a report titled "A new operating model for people management: More personal, more tech, more human", highlighting the ongoing transformation of the HR function in the light of new #HRTech and #AIforHR capabilities. (link in the comments) The report outlines what this transformation looks like and how organizations can embrace a new people operating model. Here are some key takeaways: 1?? Hyper-personalization of Employee Experience: Employees expect the same level of personalization at work as they do in their daily lives. AI-driven coaching, tailored training programs, and personalized compensation will become the norm. 2?? The Rise of Digital Agents & AI Coaching: Organizations are already deploying AI-powered personal assistants to handle routine tasks, freeing HR professionals to focus on strategy, leadership, and employee well-being. 3?? Frictionless Organizations & Fluid Talent Markets: Rigid hierarchies and job roles are being replaced by skill-based, dynamic talent marketplaces that match employees to opportunities inside and outside their organizations. 4?? Managers Must Elevate Their “Humanness”: As automation reduces administrative burdens, leaders must focus on things that make humans unique: empathy, coaching, and ethical technology adoption to build trust and engagement. 5?? The HR Function of the Future: The “Strategic Triumvirate” HR will evolve into three core roles: ? People Strategists – Translating business needs into workforce strategies. ? People Scientists – Designing data-driven talent interventions. ? People Technologists – Driving AI-powered HR innovation. It's especially interesting to look at Exhibit 1, depicting how #AIAdoption can automate and transform traditional practices (stating that "Two-thirds of today's people management processes can be largely automated"). Organizations that embrace this transformation will gain a competitive edge, outperforming peers in both employee engagement and financial success. But it is important to note that only a handful of organizations (5%) are routinely incorporating new technologies in their people management functions. Depending on where you sit in your journey, beginning (strategists), growing (scalers) or advanced (visionaries) you might focus on different things, but the overall advice is the same: -Set a clear North Star -Create a people transformation team -Reimagine boundaries, including between business and people -Experiment, continuously improve, and scale what works -Invest in technology and change -Maintain momentum What steps is your organization taking to future-proof your people management strategy?

"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"

??What happens when a company trademarks a piece of your culture??? A local company has trademarked “Teteo”—a word that represents music, dance, and joy rooted in Dominican neighborhoods. But here’s the problem: Teteo isn’t a product or brand—it’s a cultural movement, created collectively by the community. As an Intellectual Property attorney, I’ve seen firsthand how shared culture becomes exploited when legal systems designed for brands are misapplied to communities. Allowing one company to own “Teteo” is like trademarking “hip-hop” or “block party.” It takes control away from the people who made it meaningful. Here’s why this matters: 1?? Who is the real creator? How do you determine who created cultural movements? 2?? It exploits culture. Companies profit, while the communities behind the movement see nothing. 3?? It sets a dangerous precedent. If this continues, what’s next? Trademarking other collective expressions like “fiesta” or “jazz”? Cultural movements are public goods, not private property. We need to protect these creations and ensure the people who create them benefit—not corporations. Let’s discuss: Should terms like “Teteo” be off-limits for trademarks? #CulturalPreservation #TrademarkLaw #ElTeteo #IPLaw #ProtectCulture
